The Evacuator® utilises a user-friendly ‘click on and go’ mechanism. Each steel cable allows multiple persons to descent at the same time, providing their combined weight does not exceed 282 Kg on each steel cable / escape-hook. The total max. descent load on the system is 564 Kg. It is available in three models: Model E50 equipped with 4 cable reels. Models E140 / E165-200 equipped with 2 cable reels. Model E300 equipped with 1 cable reel.
In an emergency every second counts. With the Evacuator® escape descent system everybody can escape within 10 seconds.
Designed to save the lives at heights ranging up to 300 meters, the Evacuator® escape descent system is the world’s fastest and most user-friendly, fire proof, collective descent system, click on and go!
This award winning system provides a quick, intuitive escape and descent solution for everybody in an emergency situation. It is suitable for installation on wind turbines, offshore substations, harbour cranes and other high rise structures.

The Evacuator® escape descent system can be installed inside or outside.
Installation:
The solid surface where the Evacuator is going to be installed must be at least in compliance with the European Standard for Steel Constructions EN1090 and Eurocode3 class CC3 safety factor 1.65. This is the highest Class and also the highest safety factor within the European Standard for steel constructions.
Inspection and maintenance:
There is no fixed lifespan, as long as the Evacuator® passes the inspection by a certified technician. Once you have completed authorised training, the inspection can be done by your team for operational efficiency. The same applies to installation. The inspection itself can be completed within 15 minutes.
